Home & Home: The Concern Pyramid!
How concerned should player, coach or executive X be heading into the new season?
1

New Pod! After scouring each roster in the NFL, I called up Jon to ask him to fill out The Concern Pyramid: How concerned should player, coach, or executive X be heading into the new season? Not concerned? Sneakily concerned? Mildly concerned? Pretty damn concerned? Or on red alert levels?

We discuss:

  • Whether the news about Jimmy Garoppolo’s foot injury is a big deal or not

  • The Raiders’ short, medium, and long-term planning

  • Whether Jon is buying my idea that the Raiders should explore a trade for Matthew Stafford

  • How much pressure is on the Bills’ brain-trust heading into the season

  • Who will be the fall guy in Cleveland, Dallas, and Los Angeles if those teams do not live up to expectations

  • How the Niners will sort through their quarterback room

  • Which coaches philosophies/schemes are being undercut by their team’s roster construction — and how they must adapt

  • A whole bunch more
